462: Chapter 0463: Wealth in the deep mountains brings distant relatives, poverty in the bustling city brings no one to inquire.
In the earlier years, these countryside relatives heard that Ye Weidong and his wife were not doing well in Jinling City, only running a very small congee and noodle shop.
The family of four squeezed into an old three-room apartnt in a rundown neighborhood, with less space than they had for livestock back in the countryside.
However, over the past two months, they suddenly heard that Ye Weidong and his wife had undergone a significant change.
The old congee and noodle shop had closed down, and in its place, a restaurant had opened.
They even hired Ye Fugui, a contractor from the countryside, to renovate it.
Moreover, they heard that the forrly timid, weak, and poorly-performing Ye Qiu had, after a car accident, suddenly started performing very well in school.
But what surprised them even more was that this luxury house was bought by Ye Qiu.
Now, as Ye Weidong and his wife led these forty-so relatives into the residential area, these relatives and friends, entering a large city’s luxury residential area for the first ti, were at a loss for words upon seeing the environnt.
“Weidong, you’re amazing!
You have to help our family in the future!”
“Yeah, my kid is still in college and we don’t have much money.”
…
“You’re joking, it’s all because of Ye Qiu.
I’m just an old man benefiting from my son’s success.
Whether you get help depends on Ye Qiu, asking won’t do any good,” Ye Weidong said.
The relatives and friends quickly followed Ye Weidong and his wife to the nearly thousand-square-ter three-story luxury villa, seeing many guests had already arrived.
However, they hadn’t seen Ye Qiu in a long ti and couldn’t recognize him anymore.
As these relatives brought their children inside, Ye Qiu was upstairs on the second floor, chatting with Liu Lingxiu, Li Qianqian, Shen Xingru, Shen Yueru, Zhao Ruxue, Zhao Rubing, Liu Xia, and Xiao Hong.
Currently, people only knew that Ye Qiu seed to have a girlfriend nad Liu Lingxiu.
However, Ye Qiu hadn’t directly announced this, causing Liu Lingxiu to feel anxious and the other girls to be puzzled.
At this mont, Liu Lingxiu said, “Ye Qiu, my parents have arrived at the gate of the community.”
“Let’s go greet them,” Ye Qiu suggested.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu ca downstairs and saw the countryside relatives causing a ruckus.
He didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t have ti to get to know these people, nor did he want to.
From a young age, the original Ye Qiu had little interaction with these relatives, and the current Ye Qiu felt the sa way.
When so relatives recognized Ye Qiu, they said, “Ye Qiu, do you still rember ?
I’m your cousin.”
Ye Qiu didn’t know which cousin this was supposed to be.
“Cousin?
Weren’t you the one who called him stupid and hopeless before?” another relative imdiately interjected.
…
Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to respond.
He grabbed Liu Lingxiu and went outside to the gate, where he saw Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong standing at the entrance, looking around and hesitant to enter.
“Dad, Mom.”
“Uncle, Auntie.”
“We just arrived by taxi and didn’t dare to co in,” Zhang Yuehong explained.
She was afraid she might have been mistaken.
But there was only one Peach Blossom Source Residential Area in Jinling City.
The taxi driver wouldn’t have misheard.
“It’s this place,” Ye Qiu affird.
Leading Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong inside, the first stop was to introduce them to Ye Weidong and his wife.
anwhile, the countryside relatives were causing quite a commotion.
So children were crying and running around, and now Shen Zhigang’s group had already co outside to sit.
Ye Weidong didn’t expect the relatives to behave this way; he had already told them to be more mindful.
After all, they weren’t the only ones here.
Seeing Ye Qiu bringing Liu Daqing and his wife over, Ye Weidong and his wife exchanged greetings with them before Ye Qiu asked Liu Lingxiu to take her parents upstairs to the second floor.
With so many people wanting to see the house, it was impossible to accommodate everyone.
When Ye Qiu saw the relatives were still making a racket, he had anticipated this.
After exchanging a glance with Ye Weidong, Ye Weidong hurried over to ask the relatives to calm down.
Now Ye Qiu’s friends seeing the relatives behaving this way, didn’t know what to think of him.
They were supposed to bring him pride, but instead, such a scene unfolded.
“Dad, Mom, in the future, don’t invite them over,” Ye Qiu said.
These relatives of the Ye family were strangers to Ye Qiu.
Even after searching the original Ye Qiu’s mories, he had little recollection of them.
This showed that these relatives had minimal interaction with Ye Weidong and his wife in the past.
But now, with the family’s changes, and in an effort to save face, Weidong had invited them over for the first ti.
“Ye Qiu, I understand,” Weidong said.
Ye Qiu shook his head.
When he went up to the second floor, there was still ti, and the banquet at the hotel wasn’t ready yet, so they had to wait here.
Most of Ye Qiu’s invited guests had already arrived.
Cai Yong, Liu Dafei, and Liu Dazhuang had co earlier.
Now the three, dressed in suits and looking like bosses, were just sitting there drinking tea and chatting quietly.
Li Qianqian’s parents hadn’t arrived.
Li Zhiguo’s special identity ant he couldn’t co, and Lu Xiuyu had said she would co but hadn’t shown up yet.
When Li Qianqian received a call from her mother, informing her that Lu Xiuyu was near the community gate, she quickly pulled Ye Qiu along, saying, “My mother is almost at the gate.”
“Let go with you to greet her,” Ye Qiu suggested.
After all, Lu Xiuyu was the mayor’s wife and the top leader of Jinling City’s governnt, a bureau-level official.
Previously, when treating Li Qianqian’s illness, Ye Qiu had t Lu Xiuyu a few tis but hadn’t seen her much since then.
Now, Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian waited at the gate of Peach Blossom Source Residential Area.
After a while, they saw Lu Xiuyu driving up.
The governnt license plate was distinct from ordinary ones, and she drove an Audi.
The gate security imdiately recognized this had to be a high-ranking governnt official.
“Mom.”
“Auntie.”
Li Qianqian and Ye Qiu greeted Lu Xiuyu.
“Can I drive the car in?” Lu Xiuyu asked.
“Yes, you can,” the head security guard replied eagerly.
He personally led the way, guiding Lu Xiuyu to a public parking lot inside.
After parking the car, Lu Xiuyu said to Ye Qiu, “Zhiguo wanted to co, but given his special identity, it wasn’t suitable.
He’ll co over for tea another ti.”
“Auntie, I understand Uncle’s difficulty,” Ye Qiu said.
Lu Xiuyu smiled.
She felt like she’d witnessed Ye Qiu’s life change but hadn’t helped him much.
She hadn’t expected his transformation to surpass her imagination.
She had thought the gap between Ye Qiu’s background and her family’s was too large.
But now, she wasn’t so sure Ye Qiu would even consider Li Qianqian.
When Ye Qiu brought Lu Xiuyu and Li Qianqian to the courtyard, soone recognized Lu Xiuyu.
Among them, Vice Dean Zhou Peng was the most enthusiastic.
“Madam Mayor, you’re here.”
